ATTACHMENT A - IMPLEMENTATION REQUIREMENTS
The following requirements apply to all Links and Results shown in the SO. Any provisions concerning Links and Results not explicitly listed in the SO do
not apply to Publisher. Yahoo! Inc. is solely responsible for the Yahoo! rights, obligations and duties described under this Agreement for the markets included as part of the Territory within the Americas and Y! Sarl is solely responsible for the
Yahoo! rights, obligations and duties described under this Agreement for all the markets included as part of the Territory outside of the Americas. The use of the term “Yahoo!” throughout this Agreement shall refer to Yahoo! Inc. in
relation to the markets included as part of the Territory with the Americas and shall refer to Y! Sarl in relation to all markets included as part of the Territory outside of the Americas. The use of the term “Publisher” throughout this
Agreement shall refer to InfoSpace Sales LLC.
A. |
Requirements for all Links, Queries and Results |
1. |
Publisher will implement all Links and Results generally as shown in the Mockups. |
2. |
Publisher will display the labels and headings shown in the Mockups (or any labels, headings or notices required by law), with a nearby prominent link to a webpage that
explains that certain Results are sponsored advertising. |
3. |
After a User submits a Query, Publisher will not intersperse or display any interstitial content to the User prior to displaying the initial results page to the User,
which page may include Results as provided for hereunder. Publisher will not cache Results [*] to process, organize and present results in response to the Query with respect to which such Results were delivered. To the extent Paid Search Results are
displayed by Publisher, Publisher will display such Paid Search Results [*]. |
4. |
The Results provided by Yahoo! will not exceed [*] for the full title and description, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties. Publisher will not truncate the full
titles, descriptions and URLs provided by Yahoo!. Other than as expressly allowed under the terms of this Agreement or as otherwise approved by Yahoo! in connection with the display of Results through a particular Publisher’s Offering,
Publisher will not modify any part of the Results as provided by Yahoo! to Publisher. Publisher will display Results in the language provided by Yahoo!. |
5. |
Publisher will include certain Links within each Publisher’s Offering as set forth in the
|
|
Mockups or otherwise agreed to by the parties pursuant to the Agreement. Publisher will not request Results by any means except the Links and will not place Links that send Queries to Yahoo! on
any website, software application or email except for the Publisher’s Offerings. Publisher will use commercially reasonable efforts to enable all of its Users to access and use the Links and Results and to deliver all Queries from the Links
within the Publisher’s Offerings to Yahoo! every time a User enters a search into the Search Box or [*] clicks on a Hyperlink, or navigates to an Ad Page. For purposes of clarification, nothing in this Agreement is intended to or shall be
interpreted as prohibiting or in any manner restricting Publisher’s right to place Search Boxes or other links on any website, software application, email or otherwise that sends queries to and receives results from other results and content
providers, so long as such Search Box or other link does not send Queries to or receive Results from Yahoo! without being approved in writing hereunder as a Publisher’s Offering. |
6. |
Publisher will not (a) redirect an User away from the Advertiser Landing Page after the user clicks on a Result, (b) provide a version of the Advertiser
Landing Page different from the page the User would access by going directly to the Advertiser Landing Page, (c) intersperse any content between Results and any Advertiser Landing Page, or (d) minimize, remove or otherwise inhibit the full
and complete display of any Advertiser Landing Page. |

B. |
Additional Requirements for Matched Ads and/or Hyperlinks |
1. |
The parties will agree in writing on the pages within the Publisher’s Offerings that will display Matched Ads and/or Hyperlinks (“Ad Pages”),
using, as the parties may agree, either (a) a list of mutually agreed keywords or (b) editorially or dynamically mapped keywords provided by Yahoo! or generated using Yahoo!’s technology. All Affiliates must be approved in writing by
Yahoo! prior to implementing the keyword functionality described above. Publisher will implement and display Matched Ads and/or Hyperlinks, to the extent provided by Yahoo!, as agreed to by the parties as part of Yahoo!’s approval of such
Publisher’s Offering, to all Users who navigate to the Ad Pages. Yahoo! reserves the right to require Publisher to stop using any keyword or any Matched Ads and/or Hyperlinks on or in connection with any Publisher’s Offering for any reason
or no reason upon notice to Publisher. Following such notice, Publisher will promptly comply with such request. |
2. |
Publisher will use commercially reasonable efforts to display Matched Ads and/or Hyperlinks at the same time as it displays the other content on the Ad Page.
|
3. |
Once a user arrives at an Ad Page, Publisher will not send Yahoo! additional Queries for Matched Ads until the User navigates to a new Ad Page or refreshes the Ad Page.
|
4. |
In order for Yahoo! to provide dynamic mapping of Matched Ads, Publisher acknowledges that Yahoo! will crawl the content within Publisher’s Offerings and will
store and use limited information from Publisher’s Offerings, solely to the extent needed for Yahoo!’s matching technology to function. |
C. |
Additional Requirements for Paid Search and/or Web Search during the Term |
Unless otherwise agreed by Yahoo! as part of its approval of a Site or Syndicated Site, the following additional requirements for Paid
Search and/or Web Search will apply during the Term:
1. |
Publisher will [*], in each such case if and when such Paid Search Results are made
|
|
available by Yahoo! in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. |
3. |
[*]. “Commercial Query” means a keyword or keyword phrase that receives a DYMS score of 90 to 99. Generally, the number of keywords and phrases that receive a
DYMS score of 90 to 99 represent the top 6-12% of Publisher’s top commercial keywords or phrases in terms of economic performance and represent Publisher’s top commercial keywords or phrases. In the event Publisher changes its DYMS rating
scale, Publisher will adjust the score provided for hereunder so that the score will continue to represent Publisher’s top 6-12% commercial keywords and phrases. Publisher represents, warrants and covenants that its DYMS technology and any
successor technology is and will be throughout the Term based on actual user behavior, uniformly applied by Publisher to determine the degree of commerciality of keywords and phrases. Publisher’s use of its DYMS technology will be
non-discriminatory against Yahoo! relative to paid search listings from any other party (“Third-Party Paid Results”). |
5. |
Publisher acknowledges and agrees that [*] are not intended to and will not be used to circumvent the intent of the parties to display Paid Search Results [*].
|
6. |
The parties will meet at least once per quarter during the Term to discuss in good faith other optimization initiatives. |

ATTACHMENT B – TERMS AND CONDITIONS
The parties agree to the following:
The agreement of the parties consists of the Service Order and all Attachments and Exhibits (“Agreement”).
1. License. During the Term and subject to Publisher’s compliance with this Agreement, Yahoo! grants to Publisher a limited, non-exclusive, non-assignable (except as provided in
Section 25), non-transferable, non-sublicensable (except as explicitly provided for under this Agreement to Affiliates approved in accordance with the Syndication Attachment), royalty-free worldwide right and license to use and display the
Links on and in the Publisher’s Offerings, send Queries from Publisher’s Offerings to Yahoo! and to use, transmit and display the Results provided by Yahoo! on and through Publisher’s Offerings, solely for purposes contemplated in
this Agreement. The above license includes the limited right to use and reproduce the software code and/or URLs that allow Publisher to create Links, send Queries from Publisher’s Offerings to Yahoo! and receive, transmit and display Results.
2. Services. Yahoo! will use commercially reasonable efforts to respond to Queries by delivering Results or a response that no
Results are being delivered. [*]. Publisher further acknowledges and agrees that, except as provided in this Agreement, Publisher will not be entitled to, nor seek, [*]. By way of example, and without limitation, under the Search Platform,
Advertisers will have the ability to [*]. Yahoo! reserves the right (i) [*].
3. Publisher’s Offerings. This Agreement
applies to the Publisher’s Offerings as defined in Section 31 below.
4. Future Offerings. Publisher will use best
efforts to notify Yahoo! of any additional websites or software applications owned by Publisher for use or distribution to end-users that include (or that Publisher anticipates will include) search functionality or paid listings. The parties may
amend the SO to include such additional offerings.
(a) “Gross
Revenue” means the amount earned from Advertisers solely from the Paid Results shown on Publisher’s Offerings in each of the Territories. [*].
6. Payment. For each month during the Term, Yahoo! or Yahoo! Related Parties will pay Publisher in accordance with the Compensation section of the SO within forty-five (45) days after
the end of the calendar month in which the relevant Results appeared on Publisher’s Offerings (“Payment Period”). All payments (a) with respect to the U.S. and Canada will be made in US dollars, (b) with respect to
the United Kingdom will be made in British pounds, and (c) with respect to all other countries in the Territory will be made in Euros. If Advertisers pay in any other currency besides US dollars, Yahoo! will calculate payment using the average
exchange rate as published by a nationally recognized source (e.g., Oanda). If the Territory includes countries other than the United States, Publisher acknowledges that payment will only be made after Publisher fulfills Yahoo!’s invoicing
requirements. Yahoo! may offset payments by any amounts Publisher owes to Yahoo!. In the event that Yahoo! refunds amounts to Advertisers in excess of its payment to Publisher and there are no future payments to Publisher to offset against,
Publisher will pay Yahoo! for such amounts within [*] days of Yahoo!’s request. Yahoo! may make payments only when Publisher’s balance exceeds US $250.00 (or until termination or expiration of this Agreement). Except as specifically set
forth in this Section, Yahoo! will retain all revenues derived from or in connection with its services.
7. Reports. Yahoo! will
provide Publisher with a monthly report describing in reasonable detail how the payments provided for hereunder were determined and will provide Publisher with access to preliminary daily data on the performance of the Results on Publisher’s
Offerings. Such data will include estimates of each of the following metrics: [*]. All reports provided to Publisher hereunder, whether in written or electronic form, are the Confidential Information of Yahoo!; provided that any

information and metrics that are specific to Publisher and/or Publisher’s Affiliates business and use of the Yahoo! services and Results hereunder as part of any Publisher’s Offering
are confidential and proprietary information as between Publisher and Yahoo! and will be governed by the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement; provided further that, notwithstanding anything else contained herein, Yahoo! may disclose such
Confidential Information to Yahoo! Related Parties, subject to their obligation to keep such information confidential.
8.
Audits. [*] each year during the Term and for [*] after the Term, at the expense of the auditing party, Publisher and Yahoo! may review the other party’s records to confirm compliance with the terms of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the prior sentence, if the auditing party has a reasonable belief that the other party is not complying with the terms of this Agreement, then the auditing party shall be entitled to conduct a second audit during such one-year period
and [*]. All audits under this section must be during normal business hours, must not unduly interfere with the party being audited and must be performed through a reputable, independent certified public accounting firm reasonably acceptable to the
other party (the “Audited Party”). Prior to an audit, the party requesting the audit will require the auditor to sign a confidentiality agreement reasonably similar to the form of the Audited Party’s standard confidentiality
agreement. All information received by either party in connection with an audit under this Section 8 shall be subject to the confidentiality obligations of this Agreement. Such audit shall occur during business hours upon at least [*] notice
and shall be conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, if applicable, and the reviewer may disclose only whether or not the Audited Party is in compliance, and the degree and amount of any non-compliance, and may not
disclose other information (including to the auditing party) without written consent of the Audited Party. [*].
9. Ownership.
As between Yahoo! and Publisher, all right, title and interest in Links, Results, and Marks are exclusively owned by Yahoo!, its licensors and/or its Advertisers, and all right, title and interest in Publisher’s Offerings, the Publisher Content
and the Publisher trademarks, including Publisher’s Search Boxes, are exclusively owned by Publisher and/or its licensors.
10. No Implied Licenses. Each party reserves any rights not expressly granted and disclaims all implied licenses, including implied licenses to trademarks and patents.
11. Responsibility for Publisher’s Offerings. Publisher and its Affiliates are solely responsible for the ownership, development,
maintenance and operation of Publisher’s Offerings and the Publisher Content. [*]. Other than the placement obligations and express limitations and restrictions set forth in this Agreement, Yahoo! has [*]. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Publisher will provide at least 10 business days’ prior notification to Yahoo! of any material change in the content, design or architecture of any of Publisher’s Offerings that would materially change the target audience or materially
affect the implementation or display of the Links or the Results with respect to such offering.
12. Traffic Quality. For each
Query and each click on a Paid Result, Publisher will provide: (a) the User agent; (b) the full unencrypted Internet Protocol address of the User (unless such provision is in violation of applicable law, in which case the parties agree to
work in good faith and use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Yahoo! with such information in a form and manner that complies with applicable law); and (c) the serve URL (in such form as mutually agreed upon by the parties). To the
extent Yahoo! requests in writing that Publisher provide any additional data for use by Yahoo! in connection with ad serving and quality systems, Publisher will [*] provide such additional data; provided that, the provision of such data to Yahoo!
does not violate any applicable law, rule or regulation. Publisher will provide this information along with the Internet Protocol address of its own or the Affiliate’s server, as the case may be, at the time a Query is sent to Yahoo! and when a
user clicks on a Paid Result. For clarity, Publisher will not share any personally identifiable information with Yahoo! as part of sending Queries to Yahoo! hereunder (incidental transmission of personally identifiable information by a User is
excluded).

Additionally, Publisher will utilize the URLs and other source feed indicators designated from time to time by Yahoo!. The parties will cooperate [*] to minimize automated or fraudulent traffic.
Yahoo! will have no obligation to make payments (i) in instances when Publisher has failed to utilize designated source feed indicators correctly and Yahoo! cannot, using its routine business practices, accurately identify the source of
associated Gross Revenue, or (ii) for any amounts generated from automated or fraudulent traffic. Yahoo! shall determine the validity of all traffic using commercially reasonable standards.
13. Confidentiality. A party receiving Confidential Information agrees (a) not to disclose any Confidential Information to any third
parties, (b) not to use any Confidential Information for any purposes except to carry out its rights and responsibilities under this Agreement and (c) to keep the Confidential Information confidential using the same degree of care the
receiving party uses to protect its own confidential information, as long as it uses at least reasonable care. If either party receives a subpoena or other validly issued judicial process requesting, or is required by a government agency (such as
the SEC) to disclose, Confidential Information of the other party, then the receiving party shall promptly notify disclosing party (in every event prior to disclosure of confidential Information) and shall reasonably cooperate to seek confidential
treatment, including the incorporation of reasonably requested proposed redactions, and to obtain an appropriate protective order to preserve the confidentiality of the Confidential Information. All obligations under this Section survive until the
latter of 3 years after termination of the Agreement or until such information is in the public domain. The parties intend the foregoing to provide the maximum protection for each party’s respective trade secrets. Yahoo! acknowledges and agrees
that, subject to the exclusions set forth in the definition of Confidential Information in Section 31 of this Attachment B, any information Publisher provides to Yahoo! hereunder for the purpose of obtaining or maintaining Yahoo!’s
approval of an Affiliate or Syndication Site or Application, including without limitation the identity of any potential third-party affiliate or information regarding such third-party, its websites and applications, (i) is Publisher’s
Confidential Information subject to the confidentiality and non-disclosure provisions of this Agreement, (ii) is provided to Yahoo! in strict confidence for the sole and limited purpose of
obtaining and maintaining Yahoo!’s approval hereunder, and (iii) may not be used by Yahoo! for any other purpose, including any sales or marketing efforts.
15. Publisher Representations and
Warranties. Publisher represents and warrants to Yahoo! that: (a) it has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement, and to carry out all of the obligations hereunder; (b) the tax identification number set forth herein
is Publisher’s correct social security or federal tax identification number; (c) Publisher owns all right, title and interest in and to, and/or has the necessary rights to operate, the Sites; and (d) that its performance under this
Agreement will conform to applicable laws and government rules and regulations in the Territory. If any of the representations and warranties contained in this Section 15 prove to be untrue, then (i) such event shall not be deemed a
default by Publisher under this Agreement and (ii) except with respect to matters related to the Confidential Information of Yahoo! or any Yahoo! Related Parties, or as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, Yahoo!’s sole and
exclusive remedy for any breach of the representations and warranties herein shall be to enforce the indemnification obligations contained in Section 17 below.
16. Yahoo! Indemnification. With respect to claims or actions against one or both parties by third parties, insofar as such claim, demand or action is [*]. Publisher must approve any
settlement of any such claim to the extent that such settlement admits liability on Publisher’s or Parent’s behalf, or imposes any restrictions on Publisher or Parent. Yahoo! may, at its option, elect to have Publisher defend and/or settle
the claim on its own behalf, using counsel reasonable acceptable to Yahoo!; in that case Yahoo! shall, in addition to its obligations under (ii) above, reimburse Publisher or Parent for its actual and reasonable attorney’s fees and other
costs of defending and/or settling the claim (so long as those fees and costs were approved by Yahoo! in advance). [*].
